[bionet.general] SUBSCRIBE/SIGNOFF from BIOSCI lists

HARPER@cc.helsinki.fi (ROBERT HARPER, FINLAND) (11/29/89)

    Regarding SUBSCRIBE/SIGNOFF to different BIOSCI Bboards.
    There is only *ONE* place that you can do this at and that is.
              
                     LISTSERV@IRLEARN

    If you send  a SUBSCRIBE or a SIGNOFF to the actual
    Bboard/newsgroup/list then all that happens is that hundreds of
    people who receive the BIOSCI messages will get your message and
    become irritated by it, since it reveals that you are not fully
    aquaint with the methods of getting on and off lists.

    If you remember Uncle Rob's *RULE NUMBER ONE* then you will not
    make the same mistake again.

    *RULE NUMBER ONE*

    For the 20 BIOSCI Bboards that have been established you can only
    SUBSCRIBE or SIGNOFF from LISTSERV@IRLEARN

    If you send a SUBSCRIBE or a SIGNOFF to any other ID@NODE then you
    have not understood this message.
